Abstract: The invention is provided in particular for use in sawmills, in order to cut sharp-edged boards from sidings. The aim is to use optoelectronic components to construct a measuring system which can be easily realised for long objects having a diffusely reflecting surface, it being permissible for the measuring system to require additional space for measurement. For this purpose, in order to detect the measurement object contours a plurality of radiation sources are mounted, at a specific measuring distance from one another which becomes larger from the reference point of the detector row, and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the measurement objects outside the observation plane of the evaluating detector row, so that as seen from the detector row a triangle is produced in their illuminating plane. The measurement object is guided at right angles to the observation plane, measuring points then recording the respective contour at this point per radiation source. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A can disposal apparatus and method for disposing a wasted can, wherein the can is put into the gap between first and second press portions which are relatively movable toward and away from each other, and is supported by a supporting portion of a support plate which is positioned between both press portions at a level above the lower ends of both press portions. The pressing is effected by the relative movement between both press portions. Since the can is supported by the supporting portion of the support pate positioned above the lower ends of both press portions, the can is pressed without substantially leaving non-pressed portion. The support plate is suitably retracted during the pressing. In one form of the invention, the support plate is swung downward away from the lower ends of the pres portions so that the support plate does never move into a space behind the moving press portion. In another form, a spring is provided on the moving pres portion so as to move together with this pres portion. When an abnormally heavy load is applied to the press portion, the spring is compressed to absorb the load, thereby protecting the driving system for driving the moving press portion.

An annular retainer ring is axially spaced from the open end and is attached to the body portion by two circumferentially opposed, generally parallel axially elongated beam members. Each beam member is affixed at one end to the retaining ring and at an opposed end to a mount located on the body portion axially spaced from the open end. Two circumferentially spaced detents extend inwardly from a retaining ring to capture the male abutment surface to effect positive engagement therebetween.

Abstract: A register control circuit has a plurality of registers (L0-L7), a control circuit for producing clock signals (S CK1 ,S CK2 ), and a logic circuit (G1,G2) for producing latch clocks based on a reset signal (S RST ) and the clock signals. A shift data (D IN ) is inputted to a first one (L0) of the plurality of registers through a 2-input AND gate (G3). The latch clocks are forced to become active simultaneously under a state in which an input to the first stage register (L0) being controlled to "0". The shift register is initialized in such a way that a "0" input is sequentially transferred from the first stage register (L0) to the final stage register (L7). The shift register can be formed without the need of registers having reset inputs and initialized speedily, while keeping the increase in the device elements at the minimum.

Abstract: A semiconductor-on-insulator structure is fabricated from an initial structure in which a primary wafer-like semiconductive body (20) having a largely flat upper surface (26) and a typical thickness of 2 microns or more adjoins an insulating layer (24) of an underlying supporting substructure (22, 24, and 28). The fabrication involves performing a vapor-phase etch, preferably with gaseous hydrochloric acid, on the primary body to lower the upper surface while keeping it largely flat. The thickness of the primary body is thereby reduced to a value typically less than 2 microns -- e.g., 1 micron.

At the same time, the direction and velocity of wind in the plant yard are determined. Leakage of gas, steam or the like in the plant yard can be detected based on the concentrations and wind direction and velocity. Methods for the determination of the direction and/or velocity of wind, wind direction and velocity indicators, and anemoscopes are also described.

Abstract: Apparatus for reproducing and after-recording digital signals in slanting recording tracks (20) arranged sequentially on a recording medium (6) includes a recording subsystem (28) for recording digital signals in each of the tracks (20) and a reproducing subsystem (32) for reproducing digital signals therefrom. The recording and reproducing subsystems (28, 32) include one or more recording and/or reproducing heads (30a, 30b) for scanning the tracks (20) for recording and reproducing digital data therein. A tracking control subsystem (10 to 17, 19) controls tracking of the heads (30a, 30b) with respect to the tracks (20) in a reproducing mode based upon tracking signals (ATF1, ATF2) recorded in both first and second tracking signal recording areas (AT1, AT2) of the tracks located at initial and final scan positions (22, 24), respectively, of each track. In an after-recording mode, the tracking control subsystem (10 to 17, 19) utilises tracking signals (ATF1 or ATF2) recorded in only one of the tracking signal recording areas (AT1, AT2) while recording digital signals in a sub information recording area (AU1, AU2, SC) proximal to the area from which the utilised tracking signals are obtained.

Abstract: The electromagnetically operated pilot valve (182) of an electrohydraulically actuated fuel injector is used to close and temporarily open the outlet side of an orifice (38) to close and temporarily open a hydraulically operated injector valve, depending upon electric pulses of a predetermined duration applied to a solenoid (172). In order to improve the controllability of injection events, it is important that the pilot valve (182) switch-over movement takes place as soon as possible after the end of an electric pulse. The closing bias of the pilot valve (182) is provided by a spring (196). To reduce the release time of the pilot valve (182), a stop member (184) placed coaxially to the stem (180) of the pilot valve (182) and protruding beyond the pole face (148, 150) of the solenoid (172) is provided.

Abstract: Interface apparatus is connected to a first network of a first system and is connected to a second network of a second system such that each subsystem of the second system can communicate with each subsystem of the first system. The interface apparatus searches the data cache to determine if the data requested is currently stored in the data cache and is timely, and transfers it if it is. If not, it requests the information from the first system, stores it in the data cache, updates a plurality of pointer tables, each pointer table being associated with a corresponding memory access arrangement. The data is then transmitted to the requesting subsystem of the second system in accordance with a predetermined protocol thereby resulting in faster communication between the first and second system.

Inventor: BETTS WILLIAM LEWIS
IPC: H03M13/23
Filed: 1993-06-30
Abstract: The effect of non-linear distortion on a received signal point is reduced by the use of a circular limiter. In particular, the circular limiter computes the distance (rA') of the received signal point (A') from the center of the signal point constellation. If this distance exceeds a desired limit (r), then both dimensions of the received signal point are reduced by the same factor to maintain the original phase. This reduction in the dimensions of the received signal point decreases the corresponding error signal that is calculated by a Viterbi decoder. As a result, this further reduces the value of the accumulated path metrics of the Viterbi decoder which results in an improvement in system performance. In addition, the circular limiter also realizes a slight improvement in system performance against additive white Gaussian noise. The value of the limiting distance (r) can either be predefined, or determined adaptively to match channel conditions of the communications system.

A detection controller (58) is also included for interrupting the operation of the defect detector under control for a second predetermined time after the detection of the defect. The first predetermined time is approximately equal to one period of an FM carrier, and any dropout inclusive of micro DO can be completely detected.
